What is Webmail?

There are several ways you can check your email. For example, you can setup a desktop email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Mac Mail or web-based clients such as Gmail to check your email. You can also check your email from your phone, such as an iPhone or an Android phone.

Like the previous examples, webmail is another tool you can use to send and receive email. Webmail is different because you can access it using a web browser. It doesn’t require you to setup the software. You can simply log into webmail and begin to use it.

Note: Before you attempt to log into webmail, be sure that you have first created an email address within your cPanel.

Steps for Logging into Webmail

The steps below will show you how to login to webmail. In this example, we are assuming the email address you want to check is user@example.com

1. There are a few different URLS that access your webmail:
   example.com/webmail
   webmail.example.com
   example.com:2096
   
   While example.com/webmail is the standard choice, the other options are available if the first one does not reach your webmail login due to a DNS error, firewall, or redirect.

   Be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name.

2. Enter your username and password, and then click OK.

   User Name: Enter your full email address, all lower case
   Password: Enter your email address’ password

3. You should now be logged in! Click on one of the three webmail clients and get started using your email!
